Columbia Journalism Review Daily has a list of five great stories you didn’t read, celebrating great journalism that either didn’t get national play or was overshadowed by other events.
The coverage includes:
- An in-depth examination of the chaos caused by Hurricane Rita.
- The Memphis Waltz sting
- The truth about global warming.
- The stories of wounded soldiers.
- A harrowing follow-up to a traffic accident in Florida.
Definitely worth checking out.
Well, it’s that time of year, where good little boys and girls have gotten their first iPods. The first thing you’ll want to do is immediately order an iSkin — you’d be amazed at how easily the metal finish and screen of an iPod can get scratched.
Next, you’ll want some content for it. Wired has a nice article on free quality content that’s not pornographic. (It turns out there’s lots of free porn on the Internet, including for the iPod. Who knew?)
It’s been a year since I got my iPod from my family (most prescient joke ever: “What’s going on? Do I have cancer or something?”), and I use mine daily.
Tomorrow: What’s a podcast, how do I get them, and what’s good? (Yeah, I’m being lazy. I’m on my first almost-week vacation since I got this job.)
- Even the president loves his iPod, although it seems like he might be borrowing it from one of his girls. (Well, given the playlist, maybe not. But “Lightweight, and crank it on, and you shuffle the Shuffle?”)
